[303rd-Talk] Robert Eaglehouse, 427th BS Gunner

[sagetale at comcast.net]

Dear Mr. Hastie, 



Bob rarely spoke of that day and his time in the POW camp.  I only know what his children (he has five, including my husband) have told me.  If you would have a copy of the letter that Bob had sent you, I would truly appreciate if you would share that with me.  I do know from my husband that he was always saddened by the passing of his pilot, Harry Cook. 



My husband, Neil and I have four children of our own and I would love to pass on any knowledge of Bob that I can.  I will send along my address if you happen to have the letter to share. 



Thank you, 



Linda

Hi Linda, 

I'm so sorry to hear of Bob's condition.  I am a nephew of Harry Cook, Bob's pilot.  I never met Bob, but a few years ago I wrote him inquiring about the air battle that resulted in their plane being shot down.  Bob responded with a very nice (and detailed) letter describing what he went through that day.  I don't recall if I every sent him a thank you note; if you're able, please thank him for me. 

Best regards, 

Keith Hastie

My name is Linda Eaglehouse. I am the daughter-in-law of S/Sgt Robert (Bob) 
Eaglehouse, 427th BS Gunner shot down August 15, 1944.  He was a POW and 
returned home when the war was over.  



Bob has suffered a stroke on Easter Sunday and is at Excela 
(Latrobe) Hospital, Room 123 in Latrobe, PA.  I am so saddened to say that the 
time we have left with Bob is growing very short.  Bob has talked very little 
about his time in Germany but I am sure that there are those out there that 
still remember him.  He was on Tiny Angel when it was shot down.
